Pros

Best in class product Uncapped comission Holiday party

Cons

-Need to part of club to be at the top. Look online at courses completed and youll notice most of the directors and c-level are part of the "club" -Monthly Bonus essentially doesnt exisit any longer (under 10k this past yr) -Padding books by forcing companies to renew earlier and closing deals with crazy discounts or terms hurting the reps comission. -No visibility into the round robin system. -Unlimited PTO was used as a means to go public and employees are taking off less days as already mandated no sales person can take off last week of month.

We certainly hope candidates will read our responses to negative reviews as we hope you will read this response and follow up with us further - that’s why we write the responses :). Firstly, we never require employees to write positive reviews of KnowBe4 anywhere. Stu, our CEO, asks employees to leave reviews a few times a year so we can collect anonymous feedback and continue to improve KnowBe4, but we would not and can not force anyone to leave us positive feedback on any of these platforms. Every employee is free to write what they wish, as you were free to write this review. Secondly, our company-wide bonus game is also still going strong and actually earned employees more than $15,000 of additional pay throughout 2021! Thirdly, there is no club of any kind that our senior leaders have to be a part of. We look for a diverse group of leaders who can all bring different perspectives to KnowBe4. Finally, our policy for the round robin system is readily available for all employees to access (even those outside of sales). Please connect with your management if you need help locating this policy in our knowledge center. If you would like to provide us with more detailed feedback on your experience we would love to hear it. Please reach out to Employee Relations or submit your feedback through our anonymous suggestion boxes posted on every floor in our offices and virtually.

Pros

Most importantly, I really enjoy the work I do at KnowBe4. I've been given the opportunity and the budget to do what I think is right for the company, which includes testing new approaches, vendors and strategies. I work with an amazing team that always has my back and I feel that we are valued for our contribution.

Cons

The pace of work is quick and demanding. This isn't a con if you are a top performer, but it is not the type of environment for everyone. Because of this we are very selective in our hiring process.
